What was your favorite musical score in The Real Ghostbusters?

I liked the musical score where a bunch of ghosts or poltergeists are wreaking havoc, it was used in various episodes such as "Buster The Ghost", "Hanging By A Thread", "Lights, Camera, Haunting!", "Cry Uncle" and "Victor The Happy Ghost".

I also liked the musical score where the Ghostbusters or someone else was in a strange place or when strange things are happening, it was memorably used in episodes like "Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster", "The Cabinet Of Calamari", "The Collect Call Of Cthlulu", "The Thing That's In Mrs Faversham's Attic" and "Egon On The Rampage".

I know the scores you're talking about. I don't know the names of them and the scores from this show aren't available legally. I wish Sony would release a soundtrack of this show. At least the scores and not the actual songs from famous musicians back then.

A score I like is the one in Night Game that comes on when Winston says, "They made me shortstop!" and it shows all the ghosts in baseball uniforms.

It's been a long time since I've seen the episode "Night Game" but I'll definitely have to watch it, I remember it being one of my favorite episodes.

I also like the theme score that was used on the episode "Dairy Farm" when they were on their way to Ray's cousin's farm before Ray wrecks the Ecto-1.

I don't know about specific cues, but I will say Haim Saban and Shuki Levy's score was a big part of the appeal of the show, and when they got rid of the score for the early 90s episodes, in tandem with the move away from the Anime aesthetic into a cheaper artstyle with sloppier animation, it no longer felt like the same show. The changes after the syndicated season hurt the show for sure, but it at least felt like the same show to some degree.

While nothing could top the first two seasons I thought Season 3 was still a very watchable season.

The episode "Knock, Knock" had an excellent clmactic piece of music that I've always loved: it's when the Ghostbusters are zapping the glowing blue sphere past the "doomsday door" and all the ghosts in the NYC subway are then sucked back into the sphere, and I thought it was really epic and high-stakes.
